The roast · drying & Maillard
The bean gives up its moisture and turns yellow, then the Maillard reaction builds colour and sweetness. First crack comes at about 196 °C.
The roast · first crack
At 196 °C the moisture inside flashes to steam and the cell walls split. We drop the batch about two minutes later, at City+.

Our story
Altura started in 2019 with a 5 kg roaster and a single lot from Huila. We still visit the farms, pay well above the commodity price, and roast in small batches so nothing sits on a shelf.
“The Huila is the best espresso I’ve had in Bengaluru, and it tastes the same every fortnight.”
“Clear notes, a consistent roast, and the bags arrive two days after roasting.”
“We moved our café to Lot 07 and the regulars noticed within a week.”
